How the Greats Trade Stocks

Let me explain how investment strategies turned people to become great investors.

Long-term investment philosophy has been one of the significant contributors for the success of many of the investors across world. Most of the successful investors did believe in investing money to get long- term benefits in the stock market. Paul Cabot’s State Street Research Investment Trust had been
working with an objective to achieve long-term growth and income and capital. Similar approach was adopted my many in options trading. People need to be cautious which choosing right options trading
strategies to get their expected returns on their investments.

Philip Fisher believes that if a company starts distributing dividends to the shareholders, companies will
be left out with little funds for reinvestment which will affect the long-term growth. If a right stock is
bought, you never find an opportunity to sell it as you go on getting benefits from it.

John Bogle says that past century data have shown that US based business enterprises have established
a growth rate of 9.5 per cent with 5 per cent growth in their earnings. These realistic benchmark figures
simply tell us mathematics and common sense. Hence, you need to gauge your expectations to those
long-term figures which require discipline.

Benjamin Graham’s focus was always on timeliness which he thought was essential for success in the
long-term. He says an intelligent value investor would maintain a long-term investment strategy. Cyclical
transformations in the securities market will be overridden by diversified portfolio over a stretch of
time. The securities market seems similar to a voting machine where voters can do any silly thing they
want, however, over the long term, the security market is like a weighing machine where real worth of
companies put on scales.

Peter Lynch is one of the strong advocates of maintaining long-term commitment to the securities
market. Although he doesn’t want to hold a particular stock forever, he says that investors should
review their holdings periodically and find out facts relating to the company if anything has changed in
the expectations or in the share price. Lynch builds a story before any stock is bought and checks it if it is
played out as expected. He instead looks at rotation approach to maintain long-term commitment by
keeping replacing the underperforming stocks with better performing stocks.

Sir John Templeton says that the true objective for any long-term investor is to maximize overall real
earnings. Long-term results can be achieved by changing the types of securities you favor and the
methods you adopt in picking stocks. His average holding period of stocks ranges six to seven years.
According to him it requires patience in order to get long-term gains. He insisted to be a bargain-hunter
on a long-term fundamental basis and ignore the short-term trends.

How to Find Undervalued Stocks

It is a difficult task to find undervalued companies in stock investment strategies. Anyone will end up
making money if he or she will be able to get such shares consistently.

Warren Buffett is one among that prominent exponent of value investing. He adopted a strategy where
he had been seeking out and buying stocks of companies that have strong fundamentals and financial
figures in order to make money in the stock market. Lower debt and higher return on equity are also
good reasons to invest in shares that are out of favor in the market if their price is below their intrinsic
value.

Roger Montgomery, one of Buffett’s great adherents in the Australian market, bases his focus on long
term investments and his process of selecting a company as his model of investment to make money on
stock market. He did not favor widely-used valuation tools such as Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM),

beta or Equity Market Risk Premium (EMRP). He is also dismissive of PE ratio to be used to value shares.

He is of the opinion that PE ratio tells you about price and doesn’t give any thing about value of the
stock which is not dependant on price. The principle here is the price what you pay whereas value is
what you get. Prices of assets may be higher or lower than their values. It is better to buy when price
falls below a determined value. Many other inputs can be used to determine the value including return
on equity, debt level and dividend payout ratio. A check on competency of management is needed along
with a check to find out if any money retained is creating equal amount of value addition to the share
value.

It will be good to buy if all the above factors come up trumps and the share price below the calculated
value. These are pretty complex, intimidating and are required for a successful investing.
